@section Checking the setup
There are two tools that can check the consistency of the Kerberos
configuration file and the Kerberos database.
The Kerberos configuration file is checked using
@command{verify_krb5_conf}. The tool checks for common errors, but
commonly there are several uncommon configuration entries that are
never added to the tool and thus generates ``unknown entry'' warnings.
This is usually nothing to worry about.
The database check is built into the kadmin tool. It will check for
common configuration error that will cause problems later. Common
check are for existence and flags on important principals. The
database check by run by the following command :
@example
kadmin check REALM.EXAMPLE.ORG
